ZMA did help me sleep and felt rested but I also felt groggy the next day. It was difficult for me to get up. I’m a very active person and my usual schedule is very hectic which I though ZMA would be beneficial for me but I don’t like feeling groggy. My usual time to wake up is 1:15 AM, be at gym by 2:00 AM, complete my workout by 4:30, prep my meals and be at work by 6:30, work my usual 10 hour shift and then be home by 5:30 PM… do some house work, dinner, have a little family time, and then to bed no later than 7:00 PM. Since my brain is constantly thinking, ZMA helped me, sort of, shut it down and help me fall asleep faster but like I said, I had a heck of a time getting up at 1:15 to start my regular routine so I stopped taking it. It does work and it might benefit other but for someone like me, it doesn’t. 🙂 I would have given it 5 stars but the groggy feeling was no fun.

My boyfriend recommended this to me to help me sleep at night. I work out a lot but was struggling falling asleep, which is very unusual for me. Per the instructions, I took the female portion recommended 30 mins before bed and I get the best sleep every night. I feel so much better, but I do need to take an occasional break in order to keep from feeling drowsy during the day as well. Fantastic product though…

I thought this was zinc, maganesium and arginine but it’s not. Zinc, magnesium and B6. I sleep like a baby when I take these. Have been using similar combinations for years for post workout, post hike, post mountain relief.

I take this about an hour before bed and it has greatly improved my sleep quality. I don’t get more sleep, but the sleep I do get is better. I also feel like I have less muscle soreness when I have been taking this regularly. The only side effect that I’ve noticed is that i have very vivid dreams. Not good or bad, but just much more detailed and memorable than usual.

Found this supplement rated great on labdoor and it was what it said it was. This product is great to stack with melatonin. 30 minutes after I take it I’m getting relaxed, I’m easing up and my sleep quality was so solid with it. Woke up more recovered, and felt like I got more out of my sleep and felt I had healthier test levels (nothing crazy but just a little more oof in the mornings) I think it’s a great buy for the money you pay and it has solid rating

Seems to be a great legit product. But I take magnesium in the first place. So I only take two of these before I go to bed. Magnesium typically causes diarrhea and I already take to actual magnesium tablets a night.

ZMA is fantastic for sleep and recovery. My go to supplement if I want to have my muscles actually recover well. When I was body building really hard I would take this supplement and within two days see a difference. I also was eating 4000 calories a day but I really think this supplement helps.

Great product. I usually take Lunesta to sleep and have been using it for years. Ordered this last month and don’t need Lunesta anymore. This works great. Make sure to take it 30-60 minutes before bedtime. Ordered another brand after these and they were not as good as these. Will reorder this when l finish the brand X bottle.

This is my favorite supplement. I take 3 right before bed. I can tell I get the most restful sleep because I always dream and they’re so vivid. I always have physical reactions throughout the night so I would definitely recommend Now brand.

I love this for sleeping. It causes me to really deep sleep and feel refreshed the next day. Great for those who workout and want a little more TLC for your muscles while sleeping.

when people tell you this stuff will have your muscles relaxed! OH ITS NO BS it will have your whole body slumped, i have never ever recovered faster in my life, make sure you do cycle off just so your body doesn’t get used to it though, i suggest 3 weeks on one week off

I know the ‘M’ stands for magnesium and I can’t come out and accuse your company of spiking your ZMA with melatonin because I haven’t had it tested. That would be irresponsible of me and wrong.
But with that said, I SUSPECT your product has melatonin in it.
Why do I suspect that? Because when I wake up After taking your product, I have a headache, I’m a little shaky and it takes my body much longer to adjust and wake. That’s what I refer to as a melatonin hangover.
IF…you’re putting melatonin in your product, I wish you were up front about it on your labeling.
IF…there is melatonin in your product, those of us who hate melatonins side effects, should have a heads up.
IF…melatonin is in your product, people should know so they can do research on that hormone, and decide if it’s safe for them to take it.

This helps with recovery, but not with sleep. I tried Optimum Nutrition ZMA and that one also didn’t help give me a better night sleep. NOW ZMA has an outer seal, inner seal, 90 total capsules exactly, and a moisture prevention packet on the inside. I include 3 pictures in this review. I recommend this to anyone looking to wake up with less soreness after a hard workout. But I don’t recommend for those looking to fall asleep faster. That’s all.

i used to wake up a lot throughout the day (i work night shift), but after taking 3 of these, 30min before i head to bed, i have noticed that i sleep through the whole time and do not frequently wake up as before. i have not noticed any of the dreams or other side effects though. a bit pricey, would like to see them a little cheaper, but a nice alternative to other sleeping pills. havent noticed anything with the recovery effects.

Love taking these. Helps with my sleep and exercise recovery. I’ve been taking them a few years now and always notice a change when I stop. Decided to get the higher count this time because ZMA is hard to find in stores. My dreams range from me driving around looking for water bottles to flying into a wormhole and meeting alien creatures that speak via touch. Very trippy at times

I’m a runner & I bought these for running recovery. I had read a book saying that taking a combination of zinc & magnesium can help with energy levels a week before your period, which is when my running tanks & I feel sluggish. I’ve been taking these for about 6 months & I’m not sure about the energy levels, but they have helped with my sleep, keeping me regular (TMI) & I haven’t been sick all year. Not even a cold & I teach kindergarten!!!! I usually get really sick once a year with or w/o the flu shot. This year, nothing! I’ve been wondering why, & then it occurred to me, it may be the zinc. There are so many pre-cold products that use zinc to wipe out colds in their early stages maybe this little magic pill is why. It doesn’t say anything about fending off colds. This is my own conclusion. I just bought some for my husband too, who has been battling a lot of colds this year. I buy the “Now” brand because I trust it as my local health food store carries it.

I started this back last summer when I was doing hard evening workouts and needed to get to sleep after pumping up my metabolism. I missed taking it for several months, but since taking it again I feel overall more relaxed, rested, repaired and ready for the next day. No more waking up in the middle of the night, and less feelings of stress and aches and pains.

These give me crazy dreams that are super vivid. Literally every night. I used to never even remember my dreams. Now I wake up thinking wtf just happened.
